From what I've read, there seems to be some contriversy as to whether or not the Oort Cloud is actually out there. I guess it would make sense that something like that could exist (afterall comets have to come from somewhere) but shouldn't we at least be able to detect it somehow? I know that (if it exists) it would be very far away from Earth and would be very very faint, given the fact that it would just be a loose band of comet-like objects. But still, with all the powerful telescopes and infrared devices we have at our disposal, why haven't we been able to authenticate it's existance?
